WARNING Risk of injury through incor‐
rect tightening torque
The wheels could come loose if the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts are not tightened to the
prescribed tightening torque.
#
Make sure the wheel bolts or wheel
nuts are tightened to the prescribed
tightening torque.
#
If you are not sure, do not move the
vehicle. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop and have the tightening tor‐
que checked immediately.
Requirements:
R
The new wheel has been installed
(
/
page 263).
Observe the notes on raising the vehicle
(
/
page 261).
Vehicles with rear wheel drive
Only use the middle rod and the pump lever rod
with the largest diameter for the jack as a lug
wrench extension. Only insert the middle rod on
the lug wrench, and always as far as it will go.
Otherwise, the rods could bend and deform so
much that they can no longer be used as pump
levers for the jack.
Vehicles with Super Single tires: if you mount
the spare wheel to the rear axle, do not exceed
the maximum speed of 34 mph (55 km/h) and
the maximum distance of 62 miles (100 km). Oth‐
erwise, the transmission could be damaged due
to the different rotational speeds of the wheels.
#
Using the pump lever, slowly turn the drain
screw on the jack approximately one revolu‐
tion and carefully lower the vehicle.
#
Place the jack to one side.
#
Pull the rod with the smallest diameter off the
pump lever.
The shortened pump lever serves as a lug
wrench extension.
#
Starting with the middle rod, slide the lug
wrench extension as far as it will go onto the
lug wrench.
